Reduce the CO2 impact of the public facilities financed

In Belgium the Dexia Group has developed its Dexia Energy Line range, which offers its public sector customers a complete package for financing solar panels and cogeneration.
In France we offer a total package for financing improvement of the energy performance of public buildings (service sector and social housing). Furthermore, in 2008, Dexia arranged France’s first socially responsible public bond issue for the Nord Pas-de-Calais Region.
Finally, Dexia is the first bank in the world to adopt guidelines intended to reduce the carbon intensity of its financing of the energy sector.

Encourage access to banking services

Because of handicaps, geographical remoteness or economic and social insecurity, some population groups are nowadays cut off from banking services. Dexia has set itself the target of reintegrating them by promoting microcredit (Dexia Micro Credit Fund, Dexia Foundation in Belgium) and improving its general telebanking services.
In France, we are assisting our public sector customers in their initiatives to improve accessibility in their public buildings for people with handicaps.
